Soy Wax
Soy wax flakes is a vegetable wax made from the oil which is extracted from soybeans. The hydrogenation process convert.some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process alters the melting point of the oil,makesit a solid at room temperature.

- Information
Soy wax flakes is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated.
The hydrogenation process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process alters the melting point of the oil, makes it a solid at room temperature.

Applications：
Soy wax is widely used in candles, crayons, wax paper, cosmetics and medical industries. It’s well welcomed based on following advantages.
1. Renewable and natural resources without any petrochemical ingredients. Harmless to human being and environment.
2. Production cost is lower than other kinds of waxes.
3. For making candles, soy wax has longer burning time. Its soft make it especially suitable for container candles. Easy
demoulding, distribution evenness of colors, no cracking, no off cup and no smoke when burning.
4. Biodegradable feature is good for environment protection.
